"Serrica is emblematic of what's happened to the remnants of the Occupy movement around the country. Portland has one of the strongest remaining chapters. They've got a tiny office in a church, a weekly radio show, a nonprofit organization, and a lone tent--actually, it's more like a tarp--still standing as a monument in the park. The office helps to organize protests, which, this being Portland, aren't hard to instigate. Few are focused on the financial system that the original Occupy movement was so furious about. Now it's things such as closing the local Mt. Tabor reservoir; U.S. Postal Service outsourcing; coal transportation; Gitmo; shipping fossil fuels down the Columbia River; the Trayvon Martin verdict. In their office, just across the street from an anarchist-themed cafe, there's a poster that says, "Bradley Manning: American Hero," and a whiteboard advertising Occupy events, which include "World Record Tree Hugging: Sat at 2 at Hoyt Arboretum."

As the ever-evolving story of homeless camps (see Right 2 Dream Too) and street protests continue in Portland, it's sort of amazing to think how quickly the past two years have gone by
